主题: [PATCH] pid: add handling of too many zombie processes

There is a common situation that a parent process forks many child processes
to execute tasks, but the parent process does not execute wait/waitpid when
the child process exits, resulting in a large number of child processes
becoming zombie processes.

At this time, if the number of processes in the system out of
kernel.pid_max, the new fork syscall will fail, and the system will not be
able to execute any command at this time (unless an old process exits)

eg:
[root@lq-workstation ~]# ls
-bash: fork: retry: Resource temporarily unavailable
-bash: fork: retry: Resource temporarily unavailable
-bash: fork: retry: Resource temporarily unavailable
-bash: fork: retry: Resource temporarily unavailable
-bash: fork: Resource temporarily unavailable [root@lq-workstation ~]#
reboot
-bash: fork: retry: Resource temporarily unavailable
-bash: fork: retry: Resource temporarily unavailable
-bash: fork: retry: Resource temporarily unavailable
-bash: fork: retry: Resource temporarily unavailable
-bash: fork: Resource temporarily unavailable

I dealt with this situation in the alloc_pid function, and found a process
with the most zombie subprocesses, and more than 10(or other reasonable
values?) zombie subprocesses, so I tried to kill this process to release the
pid resources.
